Flour-The Market Record says: The mar
ket is quiet, but while it is so it absorbs a
very liberal production easily. Northwest
mills are running steadily and more gener-
ally than usual. Many of the water mills are
tio.'pieu Wllli II SNORT supply OF power. but
so far as they are able to 90 they are putting
out flour: 1t was stated at harvest time that
stocks OF flour averaged unusally low and
events since then have supported the statis-
tlcal position and accounts for the readiness
with which the production goes out Some
manufacturers would be glad of rise, but in
other respects the situation is quite salts
factory.
